Numbers 19

1 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni atĩrĩ,

2 "This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded: Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer without spot, in which is no blemish, and which was never yoked.

“Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo thĩinĩ wa watho ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte: Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli makũrehere moori ndune ĩtarĩ kaũũgũ kana kameni, na ĩtarĩ yekĩrwo icooki.

3 And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and they shall bring it outside of the camp, and they shall slaughter it in his presence.

Mũmĩnengere Eleazaru, ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai; ĩtwarwo nja ya kambĩ, na ĩthĩnjĩrwo hau mbere yake.

4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle this blood toward the front of the Tent of Meeting seven times.

Nake Eleazaru, ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, oe thakame na kĩara gĩake, na amĩminjaminje maita mũgwanja amĩroretie na mwena wa mbere wa Hema-ya Gũtũnganwo.

5 Then he shall burn the heifer in his sight; its skin, and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, he shall burn.

Nayo moori ĩyo ĩcinwo yothe akĩonaga, ũguo nĩ kuuga rũũa rwayo, na nyama, na thakame, o na taatha wayo.

6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio oe rũkũ rwa mũtarakwa, na mũthobi, na guoya wa rangi wa gakarakũ, aciikie igũrũ wa moori ĩyo ĩrahĩa.

7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.

Thuutha wa ũguo mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũcio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ. Thuutha ũcio no acooke kambĩ, no arĩ na thaahu o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.

8 He who burns her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.

Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩcinaga moori ĩyo no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, na o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.

9 "A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside of the camp in a clean place; and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water for impurity: it is a sin offering.

“Mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu acooke ahakũre mũhu ũcio wa moori ĩyo na aũige handũ hatarĩ na thaahu nja ya kambĩ. Mũhu ũcio ũigagwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, nĩgeetha ũhũthagĩrwo maaĩ-inĩ ma kũniina thaahu; ũcio nĩguo wa gũtheranagia kuuma mehia-inĩ.

10 He who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them, for a statute forever.

Mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩhakũraga mũhu wa moori ĩyo, no nginya athambie nguo ciake, o nake atiinde arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ watho wa gũtũũra harĩ andũ a Isiraeli na ageni arĩa matũũranagia nao.

11 "He who touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days:

“Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ arĩikaraga arĩ na thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.

12 the same shall purify himself with water on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he doesn't purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

No nginya etherie na maaĩ mũthenya wa gatatũ, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja; hĩndĩ ĩyo athirwo nĩ thaahu. No angĩaga gwĩtheria mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, ndagaathirwo nĩ thaahu.

13 Whoever touches a dead person, the body of a man who has died, and doesn't purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet on him.

Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ na aage gwĩtheria, ũcio nĩathaahĩtie Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova. Mũndũ ũcio no nginya aingatwo oime Isiraeli. Tondũ ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, mũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu; thaahu wake ndũthirĩte.

14 "This is the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

“Ũyũ nĩguo watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo rĩrĩa mũndũ akuĩra hema-inĩ: Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũngĩtoonya hema ĩyo, mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩa ũgaakorwo thĩinĩ wayo-rĩ, nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja,

15 Every open vessel, which has no covering bound on it, is unclean.

nakĩo kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩa nyũmba gĩgaakorwo gĩtarĩ gĩkunĩke nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu.

16 "Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

“Mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ na kũu nja ũngĩhutia mũndũ ũragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire, kana mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ kana mbĩrĩra, ũcio nĩakanyiitwo nĩ thaahu mĩthenya mũgwanja.

17 "For the unclean they shall take of the ashes of the burning of the sin offering; and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

“Nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu, ĩkĩra mũhu wa moori ĩrĩa yacinĩtwo ĩrĩ ya gũtherania ndigithũ-inĩ, naguo ũitĩrĩrio maaĩ matahĩtwo o hĩndĩ ĩyo.

18 and a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who were there, and on him who touched the bone, or the slain, or the dead, or the grave:

Nake mũndũ ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩoe mũthobi aũtobokie maaĩ-inĩ macio, na aminjaminjĩrie hema ĩyo na indo ciayo ciothe, na andũ arĩa maarĩ kũu thĩinĩ. Ningĩ no nginya aminjaminjĩrie mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũhutĩtie ihĩndĩ rĩa mũndũ, kana mbĩrĩra, kana mũndũ ũragĩtwo, kana mũndũ ũkuĩte gĩkuũ kĩa ndũire.

19 and the clean person shall sprinkle on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify him; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.

Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ na thaahu nĩakaminjaminjĩria mũndũ ũcio ũrĩ na thaahu maaĩ macio mũthenya wa gatatũ na wa mũgwanja, naguo mũthenya wa mũgwanja nĩguo akamũtheria. Nake mũndũ ũcio ũgũtherio no nginya athambie nguo ciake na ethambe mwĩrĩ na maaĩ, naguo hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio nĩagakorwo athirĩtwo nĩ thaahu.

20 But the man who shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water for impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.

No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu angĩaga gwĩtheria, no nginya aingatwo kuuma kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ, nĩ ũndũ nĩathaahĩtie handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Jehova. Nĩgũkorwo ndaminjaminjĩirio maaĩ ma kũniina thaahu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio arĩ na thaahu.

21 It shall be a perpetual statute to them: and he who sprinkles the water for impurity shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water for impurity shall be unclean until evening.

Ũyũ nĩ watho wao wa gũtũũra. “Mũndũ ũcio wakũminjaminjanĩria maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu no nginya o nake athambie nguo ciake, na mũndũ o wothe ũngĩhutia maaĩ macio ma kũniina thaahu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.

22 "Whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean; and the soul that touches it shall be unclean until evening."

Kĩndũ gĩothe mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu akaahutia nĩgĩkanyiitwo nĩ thaahu, na mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩhutia kĩndũ kĩu nĩagatinda arĩ na thaahu nginya hwaĩ-inĩ.”
